The YouTube embed support article should help with this.

Thanks, that article does not answer my question. It just says this:
" Note that not all of these options are directly configurable through JW Player:" - exactly how one configures autoplay=1 is missing!

You append the YouTube URL – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygI-2F8ApUM?autoplay=1

One would think so, but that does not work, when JWPlayer parses url, it creates embed version with autoplay=0!!! Bug?

Interesting, thanks for reporting this. The youtube provider is open source, so if you’d like to fix this yourself you are more than welcome to.

Also, does this work for you? https://content.jwplatform.com/previews/G6VayrX7-Jc54zGBT is a cloud-hosted player set to autoplay in the player settings in the dashboard. It appears to autoplay for me.

Thanks, we see it works in 7.x, we are using 6.x, is there a provider for that? Can you point to source for us to fix it?

We only have a source for JW 7 on GitHub, sorry.
